I was told if the govt decide to extend the pipeline, it would be tough as the town of Alton has allowed construction on the ROW. Gilford was smart and kept the ROW in case of expansion. Back in the 80's neighbors had to move existing construction and landscaping off the ROW to facilitate the pipeline. It's going to be tough to do in Alton. There is a certain lawyer just before Ames Farm who will fight tooth and nail to avoid the pipeline through his property. (Some may remember his fight with Ames Farm.)

So that's what happened. I remember hearing about the certain lawyer who wouldn't allow launching. And doesn't the railroad own some of the ROW also?
